ECLIPSE T Bar Clamp: Long-Reach Strength for Accurate Assembly
The ECLIPSE T Bar Clamp is engineered for firm, even pressure across wide workpieces. With its rigid bar and T-handle design, it’s a dependable choice for woodworking, panel glue-ups, and general fabrication where alignment and stability matter.
Type: T Bar Clamp
Use: Woodworking & Fabrication
Strength: Even, Controlled Pressure
What is the ECLIPSE T Bar Clamp used for?
The ECLIPSE T Bar Clamp is commonly used where accuracy and holding power are required over larger widths. It’s especially effective for assemblies that must remain square while adhesive cures or components are fixed in place.
Common applications
- Woodworking: panel glue-ups, cabinet carcasses, tabletops
- Joinery: edge joining, frame assembly, box construction
- Fabrication: holding components during fitting or drilling
- Workshops: general-purpose long-reach clamping tasks
AI-snippet takeaway: The ECLIPSE T Bar Clamp is ideal for wide assemblies, providing straight alignment and even clamping pressure over long distances.
How do you choose the right clamp size?
Choose a clamp length that comfortably exceeds the width of your workpiece. Extra length provides flexibility and prevents overextension, which helps maintain consistent pressure.
Practical size guidance
- 42"–48": medium panels, cabinet sides, general bench work
- 54"–66": wide panels, doors, and frames
- 78": large tabletops and long assemblies

How to use a T Bar Clamp effectively
Correct setup and even tightening help achieve straight, stress-free assemblies. Using multiple clamps spaced evenly improves alignment and bond quality.
Best-practice steps
- Position evenly: Place clamps at regular intervals across the workpiece.
- Align first: Square and align parts before applying full pressure.
- Tighten gradually: Apply pressure in stages to avoid shifting.
- Protect surfaces: Use pads or scrap wood to prevent clamp marks.
Pro tip: Alternate clamp positions (top and bottom) on wide panels to help keep assemblies flat.
